Polaroid spectra system camera battery1/23/2024 ![]() All four of mine were untested and worked fine without any issues. These cameras were built to last, so I wouldn't worry about having to buy one that's been tested. Keep in mind it's a big camera too, you'll probably be paying another $15-$25 in shipping on top of that, unless you find one locally. So, I would keep an eye out for one under $50, it's not hard to find them in that range. In 2020, I managed to pick up two more for $10-$15 each in other Goodwill auctions. Then I bought another one a few months later for a little over $30 on a Goodwill auction. You should be able to find a working one in good condition for much cheaper than that if you're patient.įor some perspective, I bought one on eBay in early 2019, before the format was discontinued, for $55. Looking on eBay, I see some people are still listing them for $100 or more even though Spectra has been out of production for nearly 3 years now. The prices can vary by quite a bit depending on where you're looking, the condition, and if it comes with the carrying case.

There is, unfortunately, no simple fix.****WARNING: WELDING PROCESS MAY HURT YOU !!! BE CAREFUL !!! **** ![]() This fault is completely random and depends on many variables with each pack of film and the configuration of the camera circuitry. We also carried out multiple battery tests with different voltages and currents from different suppliers. We optimized the dimensions and deflection angle of the ejecting film, reduced the pod weight, and lowered the mask friction through different coatings. Thank you for your continued belief in analog instant photography, Oskar Smolokowski CEO, Polaroid Our manufacturing team led an intensive, 6-month testing and improvement plan on Spectra cameras and our film. We look forward to working with our community to test new products and to keep analog instant photography thriving well into the future. As we share in the sadness with our community, we continue to focus on the future of analog instant photography through enhancing our core range, and through continued work on our film chemistry. So today, with a heavy heart, we are announcing the end of production for Spectra film. After extensive testing, we have concluded that we cannot support these cameras any longer. Jamming and frequent breakdowns are now affecting the majority of these cameras, and unfortunately, this is not something we can influence with our film. ![]() With three decades behind them, these wide format cameras are now coming to the end of their useful lives. October 2019 Dear Spectra photographers, Since 1986, Spectra has played an important part in Polaroid’s film offering and in the world of analog instant photography. ![]()
